When building post V5.5 on my PowerBook G4 Aluminum, the build failed with the 
following error:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c: In function ‘cea_mode_alternate_timings’:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c:3275:2: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_3282’ 
declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: cea_mode_for_vic(8)->vtotal 
!= 262 || cea_mode_for_vic(9)->vtotal != 262 || cea_mode_for_vic(12)->vtotal != 
262 || cea_mode_for_vic(13)->vtotal != 262 || cea_mode_for_vic(23)->vtotal != 
312 || cea_mode_for_vic(24)->vtotal != 312 || cea_mode_for_vic(27)->vtotal != 
312 || cea_mode_for_vic(28)->vtotal != 312

This error was bisected to commit 7befe621ff81 ("drm/edid: Abstract away 
cea_edid_modes[]").

This problem is clearly a problem with the gcc compiler on the box, namely gcc 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3. I had no success finding why the 
attributes were wrong, and finally settled on the following hack:

Disabling the build check allows me to build and test the post v5.5 versions.
